What links a Teacher Course Assignment to a Student Course Assignment.

‒ School Year ‒ Student Serving RCDTS / Teacher Location RCDTS ‒ Term ‒ State Course Code ‒ Section Number

If your district is sending students to another district the Home School and the Serving School must communicate - The Student Course Assignment should be matched to the Teacher Course Assignment

This is very important for data quality, we want to ensure that the appropriate teacher is being matched to all the correct students.
